Homeowners are taking control of their finances and switching to solar power, reducing their reliance on the traditional energy grid and shrinking or completely eliminating their monthly electric bills. There is no better time to add a solar system to your home because of the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/blog\/new-york-solar-incentives-rebates\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">incentives available<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and you might be asking yourself, \u201cShould I go solar?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who Can Go Solar?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While we would love for the whole world to go solar, there are some qualifications. To start, like many home improvement projects, only homeowners can install panels on their houses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you live in an apartment or rent your living space, this doesn\u2019t mean you can&#8217;t embrace clean energy. Everyone is welcome to participate in <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/community-solar\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">community solar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">! When you subscribe to a community solar project, the renewable energy is produced offsite, and subsidizes part of your typical energy usage. For no cost, you can receive 10% off your monthly electric bill. You can see immediate financial savings and take part in the clean energy revolution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Factors to Consider Before Installing Solar<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Roof<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/home-solar\/solar-panels\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the most important factors in going solar is the roof itself<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Because solar panels can last up to 25 years, your roof also needs to last this long. That is why if your roof is older than 15 years, we recommend replacing it before installation. The best materials for panels are asphalt shingles, rolled asphalt, and metal seam roofs. Although aesthetically pleasing, we unfortunately cannot install arrays on tile roofs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides the material of your roof, the most productive systems are installed on roofs with pitches of\u00a0 20\u00b0 to 40\u00b0. Depending on your typical energy usage, the size of your array will vary, although most of ours measure between 600 and 800 square feet. The perfect roofs are also unobstructed. That means that no trees, chimneys, or vent stacks are blocking potential array space. Our design team will take all these factors into consideration when building your array, making sure the system is as productive as possible to provide enough power for your energy needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Finances<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the biggest misconceptions about solar is that only homeowners who are very wealthy can afford it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every array we design is unique to your home and your needs. That\u2019s why we offer three distinct ways of paying for solar; <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/blog\/how-to-pay-for-home-solar\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">through a solar loan\/financing, purchasing, or leasing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. All three options offer immediate savings for $0 down from day one. Just like any loan, if you choose to pay for your system through a solar loan, you will need to have a certain credit score, typically around 650. If this may be an issue for you, we recommend leasing or purchasing your system outright.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eligibility for Rebates + Incentives<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solar is a sizable investment, but by combining incentives and rebates, you can see the final cost of your system be lowered significantly. In fact, many clients see their total cost <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/blog\/new-york-solar-incentives-rebates\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reduced by up to 50%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In August 2022, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seia.org\/initiatives\/solar-investment-tax-credit-itc\">federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC)<\/a> increased to 30%, making the switch to solar even more affordable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is worth noting that while many homeowners will have a sufficient tax appetite in order to take advantage of this offer, some may not. For example, if you\u2019re on a fixed income, retired, or only work for part of the year you may not owe enough taxes to benefit. Those that lease their systems are not eligible for the ITC, but are eligible for other incentives, like New York State\u2019s Solar Energy System Equipment Tax Credit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We recommend consulting with a qualified tax advisor regarding the tax credits and how they apply to your individual circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What To Do If You Can&#8217;t Go Solar<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can\u2019t install panels on your home for any reason, you can still help others embrace renewable energy and save money through our <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/refer-a-friend\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">referral program<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When someone you refer completes an in-home solar assessment, you will receive a $50 Amazon gift card. Plus, when your referral\u2019s home system is installed, you will receive an additional $500 Amazon gift card. The best part? You can make as many referrals as you want.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/calendly-book-your-appointment\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact us today<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for a free estimate to see if your home is right for solar and begin <\/span><\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/refer-a-friend\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">referring your friends and family<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Across the country, a new revolution is taking place.
